greenneck

An environmentalist who practices 'traditional' outdoor skills and pursuits (hunting/fishing/winemaking, etc) on the grounds that they represent a more sustainable local alternative to industrial agriculture. The word's origin is rooted in someone who acts like a redneck, for "green" motives.

"I never figured that greenneck would be able to fit an elk his shot with the bow and arrow into the back of his hybrid Prius, but he 'got-er-dun'".

greenneck

A person who has 'gone green', and is now highly judgmental of all others who they feel are not 'green enough'.

Can be accentuated when the individual does not have a well rounded knowledge of the actual issues of climate change.

Bob traded in his SUV to buy a Hybrid, then when he saw me drive in to work in my gas car he gave me the stink eye and hasn't talked to me since. Little does he know that my small car still gets better gas millage than his Hybrid, and has for the last ten years. What a greenneck.

greenneck

A combination of a hippy and a redneck. Someone who owns several guns, but is also into organic farming. You're rebuilding a 1970's ford in your spare time, but also ferment your own kimchi. You bow hunt in your spare time, but drive a car that runs on recycled cooking oil. Found in areas like Wyoming, Northern California, Western Colorado

Man, I didn't realize how much of a greenneck that guy is. We just shot AR-15s and now were reiki by a hot spring.

greenback 

A form of United States currency, specifically a Federal Reserve Note, which is the paper currency presently used by the United States. The ink on the reverse side of Federal Reserve Notes being green is what led to the nick name "greenback". To a lesser extent, Silver Certificates and United States Notes also had green backs, but the seal and serial numbers on the front were printed in blue instead of green ink. They were last issued in 1957 and 1966, respectively. Your parents probably remember them.

'Greenbacks' have been printed since before the turn of the 20th century, when the size of the paper currency was printed on was about 1/3 wider and 1/3 longer than its present size.
